Vikings released DE Stylez G. White.

Whereas some teams are formally announcing cuts in bunches, most of the Vikings' moves are trickling out from beat reporters. White revealed his own release on Twitter. Signed just two weeks ago, White must not have shown anything in practice. The team was hoping he'd fill a need as a nickel rusher. Fri, Sep 2, 2011 07:52:00 PM

Vikings agreed to terms with DE Stylez G. White on a one-year contract.

White is 32, but can still bring it on passing downs and projects as a possible nickel rusher in Minnesota. He'll compete for that role with Everson Griffen. White previously played for the Bucs, racking up 24 sacks over the past four seasons. Tampa and Minnesota's defenses are similar (base Cover 2), so White shouldn't take long to be incorporated as long as he's in shape. Mon, Aug 22, 2011 03:26:00 PM

The Bucs will only look to re-sign free agent Stylez G. White if free agent Tim Crowder walks, according to Pro Football Weekly.

White is entering his age-32 season and landed in coach Raheem Morris' doghouse at the end of last year. Considering the Bucs used their first two picks on defensive ends (Adrian Clayborn, Da'Quan Bowers), White is likely a goner. Even if he sticks, he'll be a rotational player at best.

The Bucs are expected to "look to the draft" to replace RE Stylez G. White, an impending free agent.

White was benched late in the year for former undrafted free agent Michael Bennett, and found himself in Raheem Morris' doghouse for not wanting to practice. Turning 32 in 2011, White's best seasons as a pass rusher are probably behind him anyway. The Bucs have the 20th pick in April's draft. Tue, Jan 4, 2011 02:28:00 PM

When asked if any doctor told him there was a chance he would not play again, Bridgewater replied, "Not at all." The quarterback said he is "taking it one day at a time" and not looking "too far down the road," but everything this offseason has indicated he will return at some point. Still, it will not be a surprise if Bridgewater is stashed on reserve/PUP to start the season.

Suspended WR Michael Floyd has been playing with the "Vikings’ top three-receiver package" and has made "several impressive sideline catches" in training camp.

Coach Mike Zimmer showed his support, saying "[Floyd looked] pretty dang good." Floyd is suspended four games, but he has a chance to make an impact after that in three-receiver sets. After showing potential in Arizona, Floyd's career has been spiraling downward. This suspension may have served as a wake-up call for the talented 27-year-old underachiever.
